  • Titanite (Sphene) Outline Crystal Structure of Titanite
    Titanite (Sphene) CaTiO(SiO4) By Dominic Papineau and Tiffany Yesavage Titanite refers to titanium which was named after the Titans, the mythical first sons of the Earth. Outline 1 Chemical composition 2 Physical properties 3 Optical properties 4 Crystal structure 5 Titanite stability 6 Occurrences 7 Uses Crystal structure of titanite Ca polyhedron Ti octahedron Si tetrahedron O atoms 1 Chemical substitutions In Titanium octahedra: Most commonly Al3+ or Fe3+ replaces Ti4+. Occasionally, Fe2+ and REE such as Nb5+ and Ta5+ may also substitute for Ti4+ . For Oxygen: O2- is commonly replaced by either F- or OH-. The most common substitution that occurs in titanite involves this coupled substitution: (Al,Fe)3+ + O2- >> Ti4+ + (OH-, F -) Notice that the above charges balance. This particular substitution may occur in up to 30% of cations in titanite. Chemical substitutions (continued) For Calcium: Sr, Ba, Na, Mn and REE such as Ce and Nd may substitute for Ca2+ . U, Th and radiogenic Pb may also substitute for Calcium. Like zircon and apatite, titanite may be used in order to determine the ages of rocks. In the Silica tetrahedra: The only element observed to substitute for Si4+ is Al3+ . A complete solid solution has also been shown to exist between o CaTiO(SiO4) and SnTiO(SiO4) at 700 C and 7kbar. SnTiO(SiO4) is the chemical composition of malayaite. Malayaite and the high temperature form of titanite are they are isostructural. Physical properties Color: gray, brown, green, yellow, black, transparent to translucent Luster: resinous to adamantine Cleavage: {110} distinct Hardness: 5 - 5.5 Because of titanite’s lack of hardness, it weathers quickly in most rocks Specific gravity: 3.4 - 3.55 2 Optical properties Titanite under thin section can be determined from its “sphenoidal shape” as seen in a thin section.

Ceramic pigments based on the Cr-doped malayaite structure were synthesized by solid state reaction and characterized by optical spectroscopy and combined X-ray and neutron powder diffraction in order to elucidate the still unclear chromium substitution mechanisms. The results show that coloration is actually due to simultaneous occurrence of Cr4+ and Cr3+ ions in the crystal lattice. Spectroscopy data confirm that Cr4+ is replacing Sn4+ in the octahedral site and, in minor amount, Si4+ in the tetrahedral site. In addition, neutron powder diffraction data suggest that Cr3+ substitution for octahedral Sn4+ is charge balanced by formation of oxygen vacancies with no preference over the different oxygen sites. Upon incorporation of Cr ion, the SnO6 octahedra exhibit an off-centre displacement of central cation which in turn induces a rearrangement of both the octahedral and tetrahedral coordination shells. Key-words: ceramic pigment, crystal structure, malayaite, neutron diffraction, optical spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction.

    1 PASCal: A principal-axis strain calculator for thermal expansion and compressibility determination Matthew J. Cliffe and Andrew L. Goodwin * Department of Chemistry, University of Oxford, Inorganic Chemistry Laboratory, South Parks Road, Oxford, OX1 3QR U.K.. E-mail: [email protected] (Received 0 XXXXXXX 0000; accepted 0 XXXXXXX 0000) Abstract We describe a web-based tool (pascal; principal axis strain calculator, http://pascal.chem.ox.ac.uk) designed to simplify the determination of principal coefficients of thermal expansion and compressibilities from variable-temperature and variable-pressure lattice param- eter data. In a series of three case studies, we use pascal to re-analyse previously- published lattice parameter data and show that additional scientific insight is obtain- able in each case. First, the two-dimensional metal{organic framework Cu-SIP-3 is found to exhibit the strongest area-negative thermal expansion (NTE) effect yet observed; second, the widely-used explosive HMX exhibits much stronger mechanical anisotropy than had previously been anticipated, including uniaxial NTE driven by arXiv:1204.3007v2 [cond-mat.mtrl-sci] 23 Oct 2012 thermal changes in molecular conformation; and, third, the high-pressure form of the mineral malayaite is shown to exhibit a strong negative linear compressibility (NLC) effect that arises from correlated tilting of SnO6 and SiO4 coordination polyhedra. PREPRINT: Journal of Applied Crystallography A Journal of the International Union of Crystallography 2 1. Introduction The mechanisms by which crystalline materials respond to changes in temperature and pressure are as important for the valuable insight they provide into the funda- mental chemistry of the solid state as they are for a range of practical applications.
